(About the author)
 
     This class, written by James Boyd, is a logger/error handler that does many things: 1.) Displays errors to users when they occur 2.) Records the activities of the application as various subroutines get executed 3.) When a run-time error happens, it can fire off an e-mail to the developer, replete with routine name, error description, and even a dump of the app's execution stack at that point 4.) It can also maintain a text file which has the application's execution stack history There are two ways of using this error handling/logging class: 1.) Use it just for error trapping 2.) Use it also for logging the execution path of an application. Since it captures the exact occurrence of a logged activity down to the THOUSANDTH of a second, it can be extremely useful for performing performance/efficiency analysis on subroutines.

Good code ... but the code doesn't 
consistently work with different long 
messages.  I can send all of the pieces 
of one message in 100 char pieces but 
to send it at once it fails on 244th 
character.  Coming from righ it fails 
on 176th.  This should be tested on 
large strings to determine if certain 
characters, combination of characters 
or character + string length cause it 
to fail.  Are there any other 
characters to trap for?

thx James for reply (via email) - API 
isn't too robust but knowing 
limitations helps create a work-around. 
 Test return code - if it is 2 
(failure) slim down message and try 
again.  James says rev 2 in the 
pipeline.  5 for effort.

Excellent code, but as some others have 
reported the email program (Outlook 
Express in my case) fails to open up. 
Any fixes ? Thank you.

The email program (Outlook 5 in my 
case) fails to open up because VB API 
"ShellExecute" return value 2 (mean 
?).
Disable this command/line 
:
MessageBody = Replace(MessageBody, " 
", "%20") 
in function 
"Email_Erorr",
and abrakadabra.....the 
email program show up.

When opening the default email-program 
using the Shell command you have to 
make sure that the email-body isn't too 
long. If it is too long the email 
program will not open!!! I don't know 
the reason for it. Maybe somebody else 
knows?!
